Eggplant Burgers

[angelique]

Has anyone tried eggplant "burgers"? When I was in college, there was an on campus cafe that served these wonderful sandwiches. I remember that the eggplant was cut thick and never mushy.

I have eaten them a couple of different ways. The cafe served the "burger" grilled or breaded, with cheese, tomatoes, mayo, onions, mustard and all of the other hamburger fixings. Sometimes, they would serve a specialty "burger" with chipotle mayonaise, ortega style chiles and pepper jack cheese. Most importantly, the hamburger buns were always buttered and grilled. I am definitely going to try to make these at home this season.
